Quantum Physics and​Consciousness

​"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it” - said, Niels Bohr.

​​Shocking, because Quantum theory, being backed by quantum experiments, challenges our traditional views like our physical world view, objectivity classical reality, Locality, causality, continuity and determinism. So much so that even our view on consciousness also seems to be getting challenged by multiple Quantum-based theories. Starting with various models which link quantum processes and brain functions, to the proposed possibility of consciousness being the reason behind the collapse of wave-function as well as the models propounding a mysterious link between quantum uncertainty and complex brain states, the world of quantum-theorists have been untiringly endeavouring to come up with a proper and firm explaination behind the mystery of Consciousness.

Bhaktivedanta Institute in collaboration with Bharatiya Vidya Mandir, is organizing a conference on Quantum Physics and Consciousness on February 4-5, 2017 in Kolkata, India. This conference is unique as it serves as a mediator to merge the now-trending science of quantum physics and the age old science of consciousness as propounded quite vividly in our ancient spiritual texts. Delegates through this conference will therefore get an idea about our rich heritage which is profoundly scientific. The conference also aims to enlighten all of us, as to how by bringing science and spirituality together, we can have a complete and balanced life.
